You should be able to slip the solid to the left.

I can't say it was 10.7.4, but my file corruption issues t= hat I've been posting about on the IMUG forum have been on a 10.7.4 computer= . I haven't seen this happen on a 10.7.3 machine yet...

I've removed s= ome 3rd party QuickTime plugins from the Library/QuickTime folder (DIVX and G= oogle Camera Adabpter) and have had better stability... I think Eric mention= ed he did something similar, too.

Anybody else see anything weird with 10.7.4?
